What it does

Runs a structured PM design review against product requirements. Use when asked to review a Figma design, check a design against requirements, or assess whether a design meets the product spec. Produces a requirements coverage check, UX concerns, open questions, and an explicit approval status — approved, approved with conditions, or not approved.

Figma Design Review Skill

Runs a structured PM design review — checking that a design meets product requirements, covers all user flows, and is ready for engineering. This is a requirements-and-outcomes review, not an aesthetic critique.

Required Inputs

  • Design description or screen summary
  • Original requirements (PRD snippet, ticket, or acceptance criteria)
  • User flow being designed
  • Review stage (concept / mid-fidelity / pre-handoff final)

Output Structure

1. Review Header

Feature, review stage, reviewed by, date. Overall status: Approved / Approved with changes / Needs revision

2. Requirements Coverage Check

RequirementCovered?Notes
[Requirement from PRD]Yes/No/Partial[Specific observation]

Missing coverage summary: [Requirements not addressed — must resolve before approval]

3. User Flow Completeness

Flow stepDesigned?Issues
[Step]Yes/No/Partial[Issue]
Error stateYes/No
Empty stateYes/No
Loading stateYes/No

4. PM Concerns

[Concern] — Blocking / Should fix / Nice to fix

  • What: [Specific observation]
  • Why it matters: [Business or user impact — not aesthetic preference]
  • Suggested resolution: [What PM wants to see]

5. Open Questions

QuestionOwnerNeeded by
[Question]Designer/Eng/PM[Date]

6. Approval Decision

Approved / Approved with changes (list) / Needs revision (focus area + next review date)

Quality Checks

  • Every requirement assessed
  • All flow states checked (error, empty, loading)
  • Concerns are outcome-focused not aesthetic
  • Open questions have owners
  • Approval status is explicit

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not review a design without a list of requirements to check against — always ask for the PRD, design brief, or acceptance criteria first
  • Do not give a vague approval status — the decision must be explicitly "approved", "approved with conditions", or "not approved"
  • Do not conflate requirements gaps with UX concerns — track them separately so engineers and designers can act independently
  • Do not raise concerns without suggesting what information is needed to resolve them
  • Do not skip open questions — unresolved assumptions at review time become bugs after engineering handoff

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Review this Figma design against the requirements"
  • "Do a PM design review for [feature]"
  • "Check if this design meets the product spec"
  • "Is this design ready to hand off to engineering?"
  • "What is missing from this design before we can build it?"
